Y: The Last Man (volumes 1-4) by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra

The premise of this comic book is that a sudden plague has hit the earth, killing every human, and other animal, with a Y chromosome. Somehow Yorick Brown and his pet monkey, Ampersand, have survived. What follows is their adventures as they travel with Agent 355 and biologist Dr. Mann to try to figure out a way to repopulate the earth. Parallel story lines involve Yorick's sister, Hero, joining the vigilante Amazons, his Congresswoman mother, and Israeli soldiers on a mission.

Highly Recommended
